my first question is about zhan zhuang, i read up on it but i could only find a detailed description of the first stance, could anybody go into detail on other stances for me, aswell as what is meant by abdominal breathing techniques, also is this really the most effective way to build chi, and what is the most effective routines i should be doing? the second is about iron palm, i read a site about it that was helpful but it named a bunch of strikes i'm unfamiliar with: The whole cupped hand The finger tips The knife edge The bottom edge of the palm The back of the hand could anybody describe these for me? theres more stuff i'd like to know but i think this is enough for now. I should also mention that beyond a couple of years of kung fu when i was a child i am pretty much untrained in MA, but i am planning to get into this but i wanted to begin buildin a foundation before hand, so help would be greatly appreciated.
